Am I somewhat of a sexist if I find male sculptures to be more sublime?
I'm a woman. I like looking at marble sculptures and I find male sculptures to be more interesting than female sculptures. The way each detail of a male's body carefully carved in marble is absolutely awe-inspiring. So magnificent. Anyway, I'm just wondering, does that make me somewhat sexist against women?
no, it makes you hot for men
i feel the same about the female form.
